Intersting,

but I found something even more intersting than the pictures. Could you detail a bit on that 2" special Coaxial compresion Driver/Tweeter in Audio Voice Sonata?

I don't remember seeing anywhere a dual concentric compresion driver... so this must be something special..

hi

the coax i use in the Sonata is a modified BMS4592nd coaxial driver.
In the Goliath however, i split de frequencies and the drivers.

Interesting design, and I'll watch it's development with interest.

For work reasons, I'm currently living in another city and had to dismantle my horn mains and LABhorn subs and go back to direct radiators (KEF 104/2).

I'm in the planning stages for a new and improved rig when I return, based upon my previous experiments. Current plans call for Azura 240 horns with a small coax (Radian, Hemp or BMS) from about 200Hz up and a hypex driven by a pair of 15's from there down to about 60Hz. Subs will be IB's in the ceiling with the 24 15" drivers I have laying about.

The BMS driver data can be found here.

4590 or 4592ND. I've been using the 4590's at home since 2001 or so.

Brett,
Which horn did you use with the 4590's? Crossover? After living with them for a good while, what is your subjective impression of the driver? Strengths and weaknesses?
Thanks,
Paul

Dunno, but if ur a manufacturer, shouldn't you register as a manufacturer??

Looks like a commercial site for ur link??

But the computer renderings look nice... or are those photoshopped pictures?

Is Fane still in business? Thought they went under a few years back, iirc.

hi

it seems that some companies still carry Fane products in their stock.
but i heard too that Fane does not exist anymore.

Fane have been bought by Precision Devices, check their website for details. I don't know what their plans are for Fane - maybe they'll carry on the M.I and Guitar speakers, but the high power stuff I can't see them carrying on with as this is P.D's bread and butter.
